No orange snow but got this after 2hours of getting to work as it had already been snowing for an hour

On the way saw a punto that had hit something and rolled and was on the wrong side of the road with a police unit in front with all its lights on to warn people.
Looked like it had slipped, caught the dropping verge and then just gone over and come acros the road... Lucky no-one else had been oncoming!!
Been out practicing my doughnuts on the way to work, great in locked 1st gear with the DSC off and just spinning round on the spot with the tiniest bit of throttle once you induce the grip loss which is a bugger with M+S tyres
Journey to work took forever as even though the road was mostly clear thanks to gritting a small queue developed not long from my home as an older megane up front (6 cars in front) was doing 5-10mph so i guess they were just crawling in 2nd/3rd. Finally got to the dual carriageway section and the snow was at least 1-2" so everyone stayed behind them.. I'd got bored by this point and knew that I'd be ok to do about 15-25mph along it especially on fresh snow with much better traction than the 2wd affairs in front of me so slid out and gently mooched past them.
about 30seconds later after passing them all and moving in someone in a golf 4motion came flying past and the lights up ahead were green but then amber and red..... The golf squiggled all over the place as they obviously planted their foot to the floor and the ABS and TCS were on full alert. I just slipped across to sport mode and let off the accelerator and the car soon slowed down
When the lights began to change i heard the engine next to me in the golf and then it dropped very quick as the TCS obviously didn't want to die this evening and again it was struggling for grip. Me back in D just gently pushed the pedal allowing no more than 1700rpm and moved along at a decent enough space without any loss of traction
All with a heated Bum and Hands and with good old classic fm on the go
Even better getting in and the car already being Toasty before the engine is cranked
Whacked the ISO up on the camera and it comes out orange at night! 
These were taken yesterday during a fun ride when it was (only) -26 ºC
